I will try and if not, there's always Plant Fest and Salt fest 2K5.

I asked Dave Wilson from Darwin AU if he'd be interested in presenting some
of the local biotopes in AU and he said he'd be honored.
He's got a ton of stuff.

He clogged my mailbox for 3 days. Many new weeds that will bring out the
faithful and collectors.
Windelov was another.....We could bug Kasper also, Dennerle is too
frail,and they are not interested in this market here.

I think we will pull it off this year here. We have many folks plugging for
it here in the bay.

We will promote it heavily.
Many will want to come to SF just for fun anyway.
But I don't want to rush too much either.........
Dave will promote it, I will, Erik, Greg and many others.
I think we will get many attendee's here.
There are so many things to see that many will have a ton of choices.
Nature, SF, the AGA meeting, easy transport, food, sea, LFS's etc

It's not a hard place to sell or promote.

Regards,
Tom Barr
